The Rhino Robot control board L293 is versatile and expandable platform for robotics. Due to its expansion capabilities the board can be used to control all robots starting from beginners robot to advanced robots with multiple functionality.

The board is compatible to 6-25VDC input compared to all robot control boards available which accepts inputs just up to 12VDC.

It has onboard Four 1Amp motor drivers (2X L293NE).

The board comes with a bootloader software pre-programmed in ATMega16 microcontroller and can be easily programmed through USB within few seconds.

The Quick-C platform for programming this board with multiple libraries will be offered soon with this board.

This Product Includes

CD containing all required software's

Rhino Robot Controller Board with ATMega16 and 2X L293NE

USB cable

Robot Controller Board Features

On Board Regulator with filters and Operating voltage from 6V-25V

2 General purpose LED's

2 Switches including reset

Power on/off toggle switch 10A (Use better capacity switch if your power requirement is more then 10A or just short the terminals)

PWM pins connected to motor drivers for speed control of motors for two motor drivers

8 ADC/Standard servo compatible connectors

All Pins accessible through male header pins

Onboard 36Khz receiver to receive signals from RC5 remote

PS2 remote compatibility (Shares same pins as of LCD so either LCD or PS2 remote can be used at a time).

USB to UART converter onboard

Can be expanded for I/O through expansion connector via SPI/I2C/UART.

Reverse polarity protection using a diode (Short the diode to SMD pad provided on board to reduce voltage drop by 0.7V or increase current requirement if more then 6A. In this case reverse polarity protection will also be removed.)

Can be programmed via USB through bootloader or through ISP programming (If programmed through ISP the bootloader will be erased and we do not offer bootloader files as of now).

Optional items

LCD Module HD44780 compatible

AVR Microcontroller ATMega16 included with board (Also ATMega32 can be selected)

AVR programmer (Selectable between Serial Port, Parallel Port and USB Port Programmer) (Once you program bootloader chip through this programmers the chip cannot be re-programmed by bootloader through USB)
*Serial port programmer does not work properly when LCD is connected. We recommend Parallel or USB port programmer if you are using LCD.
